In the Dover trial, it was stated that if you think intelligent design is science, so is astrology. Comments?

Here is part of a news story:

"Astrology would be considered a scientific theory if judged by the same criteria used by a well-known advocate of Intelligent Design to justify his claim that ID is science, a landmark US trial heard on Tuesday.

Under cross examination, ID proponent Michael Behe, a biochemist at Lehigh University in Bethlehem, Pennsylvania, admitted his definition of “theory” was so broad it would also include astrology."

    I think the day of Intelligent Design has come, and gone. It was a movement that garnered a lot of initial press from uneducated press and reporters only to be corrected by remidial science class.

    While the debate will forver live on, this moevment does seem to have slowed to a crawl, thankfully.

    True. Intelligent design is just religion under another guise.

    Perhaps it belongs in a humanities class; but it certainly does not belong in a science class.

    It was discouraging that it had to go to trial. I.D. should have been sticken down by common sense. Unfortunately, common sense must run a little thinner in that area of PA.
